King Sized Deck - DIY Bed Frame with Foundation for $100

[phoenix]

Hi 796bam,

Thanks for the plans. I have an existing split box frame and screwed a piece of 1/2" plywood to the box to beef it up. Seems to work fine, 2 pieces of 1/2" plywood $36, tape measure, chalk line, skill saw, drill with screw tip and 50 1 1/4 drywall screws.

Thanks for the information and feedback about your box spring.

Just for the sake of reference … it may be worthwhile reading post #10 here about solid surface foundations because in some cases the solid surface can add some additional risk from the lack of airflow under the mattress.
